Forbes, who was born in Olathe and moved to Overland Park at age five,[1] attended the University of Kansas where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies. [2] She also attended Blue Valley Northwest High School in the Shawnee Mission School District.[3] She plans to pursue a career in either public relations or marketing, however, her dream job would be on television as a television host.[4]
Her biggest passion in life is American Quarter Horses, which she grew up riding, showing and training.[5] In October of 2000, Lisa represented the Northeast Kansas Quarter Horse Association in the All American Quarter Horse Congress Queen's Contest in Columbus, Ohio.[6]
In late 2004 she gave up her crown to the 2005 Miss Kansas USA winner Rachel Saunders. She later appeared on the Paris edition of reality television show The Bachelor, but was eliminated in the first round.
